GREEN ALGAE
Green Algae is a small unicellular organism that contains chlorophyll which gives it a bright green color. There are almost 8,000 species of green algae, but they can all be found in damp places that contain water.

DIATOMS
Diatoms are part of a major group of algae. They are unicellular organisms and can be found in aquatic/semi- aquatic habitats. They exist in colonies in the shape of ribbons. There colonies are a popular tool for monitoring environmental conditions.

KELP
Kelp is a large brown seaweed that grows underwater. They can be found in cold areas farming "Kelp Forests".They require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 degrees Celsius. They are well known for reaching 30 to 80 meters in growth.

EELGRASS
Eelgrass is a rooted, submerged plant found underwater. They help to increase water clarity and reduce erosion by reducing wave energy and trapping loose sediment. They have thin ribbon leaves that measure up so 3 to 4 inches long. They can be found in many oceans and estuaries.

MANGROVES
Mangroves are a small shrub or tree that can occasionally be in brackish estuaries on intertidal flats. The dominate three-fourths of tropical coastlines. They grow in saline coastal sediment habitats and span 118 countries and territories.

PHYTOPLANKTON
Phytoplankton is a type of micro-algae that contains chlorophyll and requires sunlight to grow and make food. They are buoyant and float in the upper part of the ocean, where they can get sunlight. They are also know for being autotrophic components of the plankton community.

REDHEAD GRASS
Redhead grass is a perennial species of aquatic vegetation. It has slender, straight stems that can either be reddish or whitish. Due to there unique color they are very easy to spot.

SEA CABBAGE
Sea cabbage, often referred as Laminaria, is a species of brown algae all sharing the common name. They are long, leathery, and large in size. They are also referred as the Devils Apron or The Sea Colander. They can be found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Northern Pacific Ocean.

SEA GRASS
Sea Grass is a flowering seaweed that grows in saline water. They can be found in shallow,coastal waters. They grow in large "meadows" which can often look similar to a grassland. They undergo submarine pollination and complete there entire life cycle underwater.

WILD CELERY
Wild celery is a aquatic plant that grows in muddy, swirling water. It's long ribbon-like leaves can withstand swift water currents by bending and swaying. When the water slows down the resume to an upward position. They can be found in mostly brackish water along estuaries.
